Thanks! I think I could add that it was a steering voice, what the captain says to the pilot. You got the meaning without the background, so thanks a lot!

The word to use depends on the context:


Explanation:
if talking about ships:

timonear (navegar) en medio de las embarcaciones o los barcos (your choice)

if talking about airplanes:

volar (navegar) en medio de las naves

The word "timonear" although it refers to the "timón" you use to either drive, sail or fly is not commonly used, and the latter words are used depending on the case.
Good luck!

Mi opinión está con Ruth


Explanation:
Los rudders (timones) normalmente están situados en la popa, estos están situados a mitad del buque. Por asociación encontré lo siguiente en el Diccionario Politécnico EN>ES de F. Beigbeder: Amidships-engined = con máquinas en el centro (buques). Espero sea de ayuda.

cruzar su nave en medio de dos embarcaciones.


Explanation:
Seems like a ship's skipper trying to cut between two other ships. Note that "rudder", in maritime navigation, applies "to steer", "to handle the rudder".
Luck!
